A troupe of mushrooms growing on a pile of wood chippings.

This moth had been attracted indoors by a bright light.

A mushroom which used to be eaten in some parts of Europe. More recently it has been realized that it can have worse effects that causing gastric upsets in some of those who eat it: it can occasionally prove fatal.

A variety of russula – a family of mushrooms which tend to be relatively large and brightly coloured.

The wayside fruit of autumn.
